“Now you courtly dames and knights,
That study only strange delights,
Though you scorn the home-spun gray
And revel in your rich array;
Though your tongues dissemble deep
And can your heads from danger keep:
Yet for all your pomp and train,
Securer lives the silly swain.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

“My love is of a birth as rare
As ‘tis for object strange and high:
It was begotten by Despair
Upon Impossibility.”
